A RIVER HORROR.
THE FRlGHTFUL EXPLOSION OF The
.. STEAMER sULTANA.

A Disaster Unique in the Annals Of
CasuaIty-The Cause stIll n Mystery.
Hundreds Perished outrigIt-SIovIng
story of a Survivor. -.. r...
The tragic fate of the steamer Sultana ON
the Mississippi river, just above Memphis, on
April %, 1855, was one Of the most appalling
chapters in tho history of the civil war. On
the morning Of the 21st the Sultana, from
New Orleans, with a capacity of 3T6 passen-
gers, arrived at Vicksburg with passengers
and crew numbering 110. Her boilers were
leaking badly, although they had been pro-
nounced good just before leaving st. Louis on
her downward trip, and the engineer refused
to proceed until they were repaired. That
was done by competent mechanics, and to the
satisfaction Of the boats chief engineer. She
lay at Vicksburg altogether about thirty
three hours. She was boarded by 1905 Union
soldiers and 35 officers, just released from
Andersonville. and Cahaba prisons, making a
total of 2, 141 persons, six times her carrying
capacity. The soldiers were mostly from
Ohio and Indiana regiments 1t is needless
to say that they were huddled together like
sheep in the shambles. Many of the soldiers
were YET suHerlnB from WOUNDS TecelVeu III
battle, and most of them were sadly emaci-
ated from starvation in the prison pens,
where they had been confined for weeks, but
now they were en- route home; the cruel wnr
was over, and the visions of loved ones and
dear, familiar scenes filed them with child
ish joy Memphis was reached on the 26th.l
After coaling the steamer proceeded. So far
the presence of danger was not manifest, nor
was it in the least anticipated, but in the
darkness that follows midnight, precisely at
$50 a. M, just opposite Tagleman's landing,
eight miles above Memphis, the steamer ex-
ploded her boilers with terrific force, and in
few minutes had burned to the waters edge.
No adequate cause has ever been assigned for
the explosion. The steamer had proper cer-
tifcates of worthiness, and was running at
her usual rate of speed, nine or ten miles an
hour. Mr.. Roberry, the chief mate, who had
charge of the boat at that hour, and who was
among the survivors, was in the pilot house
with Mr.. Clayton, the pilot. Noperil seemed
imminent, and the event still wears an air of
mystery. th

The breath of chronic catarrh pa
tient is often so offensive that he cam
not.go into society and hea becomes an
object of disgust. After time ulcer
alton sets in, the spongy bones are at
tackled, and frequently entirely de-
stroyed. A constant sourse of dIscom-
fort is the dripping of the purulent Sc
cretions into the throat sometimes pro-
ducing inveterate bronchitis, which in
Its turn has been the exciting cause Of
pulmonary disease. The brilliant re-
suits which have attended its use for
years past properly designate Ely's
cream Balm as BY far the best and only
real cure. 2t
